Ingredients
Scale
- 3 oz apple cider (unfiltered)
- 3 oz prosecco or brut sparkling wine
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 lemon wedge (or apple slice)
Instructions
- Combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small shallow dish; mix until evenly distributed.
- Run a lemon wedge around the rim of a champagne flute or wine glass to moisten it.
- Turn the glass upside down and dip the rim into the cinnamon sugar mixture, rotating to coat evenly. Tap off excess and set upright for about 30 seconds.
- Fill each glass halfway (about 3 oz) with apple cider.
- Slowly pour prosecco over the cider to fill the glass, pouring gently to preserve bubbles.
- Give the drink one or two gentle stirs with a long spoon or chopstick.
- Garnish with a thin apple slice or cinnamon stick and serve immediately.
Notes
Use chilled ingredients for best results. Don’t rim glasses more than an hour ahead to prevent stickiness. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute prosecco with sparkling cider or non-alcoholic sparkling wine. The ideal ratio is 1:1 cider to prosecco, but adjust to taste.
